Tyler Perry, he who acts, writes, and directs in those oh-so-hilarious Madeamovies that black folks love oh-so-much, is starring in the reboot of the Alex Cross film series, which is, naturally, entitled Alex Cross.

Don’t know who “Alex Cross” is, you say? Sure you do. The character is the protagonist of best-selling crime novels from author James Patterson and was first portrayed on the silver screen by Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls and Along Came A Spider.

Now Perry is taking over the role, and while some may not buy him as a credible action hero, the trailer does look intriguing.
